The Chevrolet Blazer is GM’s style-forward two-row midsize SUV — positioned between the Equinox and Traverse as a sleeker, sportier option for Bergen County buyers who want a larger SUV with a more aggressive character than the mainstream compact crossover. Available in both gasoline (LT through SS) and fully electric (Blazer EV) configurations, the Blazer covers both traditional buyers and those looking to transition into EV ownership with a familiar form factor. This guide covers both the gas Blazer and Blazer EV, helping Bergen County buyers navigate the lineup.
Bottom Line: The Chevy Blazer brings sporty styling and available RS and EV performance variants to the midsize SUV segment — a more design-forward alternative to the Traverse for Bergen County buyers who don’t need the third row.
- Gas Blazer: 1.5T (193 hp) base or 2.0T (228 hp) on RS/AWD
- Blazer EV: 557 hp (SS version), 320 miles of estimated range on LT2/RS trims
- Available AWD on gas models; standard on EV SS
- Bold exterior design differentiates from the more conservative Equinox and Traverse

Blazer EV
The Blazer EV brings GM’s Ultium platform to the two-row SUV segment. Available in 1LT, 2LT, RS, and SS configurations, the Blazer EV ranges from a 247-hp rear-wheel-drive base to the 557-hp AWD SS with 0–60 in approximately 3.4 seconds. Estimated range of 320 miles on LT2/RS trims provides comfort for Bergen County commuters who occasionally drive to Manhattan or along the NJ Turnpike corridor without range anxiety.
The Blazer EV’s DC fast charging capability (150 kW) adds approximately 78 miles of range in 10 minutes — practical for road trips where DC fast charging is available.
Blazer in Bergen County
The gas RS AWD is the most popular Bergen County Blazer for buyers who want the design statement and all-weather confidence without the EV commitment. The 2.0T delivers confident power on Route 17 and the GSP; AWD handles New Jersey winters without drama. The RS’s sport styling differentiates from the Equinox’s more conservative appearance.
"Blazer buyers want style — they've seen it on the road and they want that look. The RS AWD is the volume pick. The EV SS is something special; when you show people the performance numbers they do a double take."
